The concert was AWESOME!!!!

Just in case you were wondering. :-) We got home a little after 11:30 pm. :-) The place was PACKED! It was such an awesome concert/worship time. :-) And, yes I am POOPED!

John Waller and Leeland were the opening acts, and they were so wonderful.

Then, the entire time Casting Crowns was on stage it was like one huge worship service, it was just too awesome for words. ;-)

We did get some really nice pictures, and "Little Mark" got a black cap with a crown stitched onto it. :-) He had a really great time. As we were leaving he told the security guard, "That was the COOLEST concert EVER." :-) I'm glad he liked it.

My favorite part was the very last song, the "encore" song. :-) They did "What if His People Prayed", and the audience sang it so loud with them. Here are the lyrics:

"What If His People Prayed"

What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let Satan have one more
What if the church for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took and stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

What if His people prayed
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And turn from their own way

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day
What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

What if His people prayed
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And turn from their own way
He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He’s answered loud and clear,
YeahIf only we would pray

If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray

What if His people prayed
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face,
Yeah And turn from their own way
He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He’s answered loud and clear,
Yeah If only we would pray

What if His people prayed

Love,
Wendy Darling

Awesome. I saw them at a free concert at a mall when they were just getting started. They are one of my favorite groups.

Love the lyrics, btw.

Hey there, sorry I haven't been by in awhile...lack of computer that works, 4 kids, cake and cookie business, 2 football players, 1 cheerleader, 1 2 year old...you get the idea!

Anyway, I've just caught up for awhile and I'm glad to hear your shingles are better. That can be a very dangerous disease! And a big yahoo on the weight-loss! I got within 3 pounds of my goal and now keep going up 2 pounds, and down 2 pounds and I just can't seem to break the barrier...perhaps it's the lack of running that's been going on here, or the amount of prepared foods being served in lieu of actually, you know, cooking stuff! But you encourage me, and hopefully I'll get back on track and be able to post those last pesky 5 pounds gone soon!

Have a great weekend!
